Nicola Light Photography

Based in Godalming, Nicola Light is an award‑winning family photographer who specialises in creating relaxed, natural portraits that tell your family’s story. Nicola’s approach is warm and informal — she aims to put everyone at ease so you can forget the camera and focus on each other. The result is honest, emotive images that reflect real relationships, small gestures and everyday laughter. Nicola blends a documentary sensibility with thoughtful portraiture. Whether you prefer a gentle stroll around a favoured local spot, a cosy session in the garden of her studio, or a calm in‑home shoot for newborns, she adapts the session to suit your family’s rhythm. She has extensive experience working with maternity clients, babies and children, so sessions are paced with plenty of breaks, gentle direction and practical tips to help capture the best expressions and interactions. Clients frequently comment on Nicola’s calm, conversational manner and the comfortable atmosphere she creates. She works collaboratively from the first enquiry: discussing wardrobe choices, location ideas and how best to reflect your family’s personality. Many sessions include on‑the‑day selection and a viewing on the big screen so you can choose favourites together — Nicola believes in keeping you involved in the creative process and delivering images you truly love. Nicola values timeless imagery over trends. Her style favours natural light, soft tones and compositions that celebrate connection rather than staged poses. This makes her work especially suited to families who want portraits that will stand the test of time and bring back the feeling of a particular moment for years to come. As a Godalming‑based specialist in family and maternity photography, Nicola brings both technical skill and a genuine love for this stage of life. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, experienced photographer who will capture your family with warmth and authenticity, Nicola Light is ready to help you create keepsakes you’ll cherish.
